Jeff Parker batted clean up for the group and said he'd like to write Woodgod and Aquarius. He also added that he is going to be writing a character he's always wanted to write, but couldn't tell the audience at this time.

Writing a character a writer has always wanted to write? Isn't that always code for Doctor Strange?

We know he's had Clea on his mind. From the recent "Which Marvel character would you date?" (scanned from Wolverine #59):

And then there's this great Colleen Coover panel from X-Men: First Class #11, written by Parker:

Steve Ditko was hired by DC before Dick Giordano; Ditko recommended that DC hire Giordano [Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed] [Mark Evanier]
Apparently it's a common error to think Ditko was among the Charlton stable that Giordano brought over to DC.

Neilalien not the only child traumatized by that lady's forced robot transformation in Superman III [My New Plaid Pants]

Iron Man is every bit as good as you've heard.
What struck Neilalien:
(1) Big kudos re: the zippy story and pacing- not a boring moment in two hours- astounding given how much origin-ism involved and essentially watching the building/mastering of 2+ suits.
(2) Instead of an easy blue-screen nightmare in other hands, props to the talents of Robert Downey Jr. being Tony Stark, Jeff Bridges clearly having a blast as bald Obadiah Stane, Gwyneth Paltrow as a mousy Pepper Potts, and "anti-CGI" direction by Jon Favreau.
(3) The suit and the flying sequences are so good that you will wish you could fly in that suit- and it felt, not "realistic", but "possible".
(4) That post-credit sequence with Samuel L. Jackson as Ultimate Nick Fury mentioning the Avengers was sick!
Congratulations to everyone involved and Marvel Comics on the success of the first film Marvel did all by itself. 02010 sequel already announced.

Dr. Strange at #83 on Wizard's 200 Greatest Characters Of All Time:

A master of medicine and magic, Strange is one of Stan Lee's classically tortured characters, a man punished for his ego when fate strips him of the steadiness of his surgeon's hands. Turning to a life of sorcery, Strange is our gateway into the fantastic, wielding the kind of mysticism comic panels were made for.
